Yes, it's holidays. Some friends I only see when each of us is on school holidays. This morning, I sent a text to Di (who has a blog too - find it
here), asking if she'd have time for coffee today. I must admit here, I'm a fairly slack friend. I very rarely take the initiative in catching up with friends, and I'm very fortunate in having friends who will suggest things to do. So the fact that I made the first move today is (in my head, anyway) a step forward. I have a mental list of other friends who'll need a connection soon.
The weather today was a bonus too, as it wasn't raining the
entire time. I even had a rain-free run this morning! However, considering the possibility of rain and parking, we opted for Baroona Rd, Milton. Well, it was an interesting parking experience, but we had no dash through the rain so I'll consider that a win. Neither of us had been to Avant Garde Patisserie before. Very tempting treats - neither of us was very disciplined.... I had the Choc Date Pistachio slice. I was expecting a mega chocolate indulgence, but it was quite light and chewy. Dusted with cocoa and icing sugar resulted in me making quite a mess! Nothing too embarrassing though.
There was nowhere really warm to sit which was disappointing, so I spent most of the time chilly. And the seats were not superbly comfortable either. Coffee was in the middle of the bell curve - not bad, but not something to write home about (or recommend to coffee aficionados - aficionadi?).
Today's photo:
The sun came out for just long enough for me to grab my camera and take 4 photos before my battery died and the clouds hid the sun again. It was so exciting seeing the water droplets sparkling in the sunlight!
